Northwest Florida is a great place to live! 

Whether you're looking for a new home or condo, a vacation home or investment property, now is a great time to buy as current Florida real estate market conditions favor the buyer!  Mortgage rates continue to remain historically low allowing you to buy more house for your money.  Also, many north Florida home builders are offering various incentives to prospective buyers. 

The northwest Florida housing market is experiencing the same buyer's market that the rest of Florida has been since late 2005.  It is currently a strong buyer's market and a general reduction in home prices can be seen throughout the Florida Panhandle region.  Homes for sale often linger on the market for months and the inventory of properties is at a high point, allowing home buyers to be selective.  

Are you looking for a home in northwest Florida and want to be alerted of new listings that meet your needs as soon as they come on the market?

Successful sellers are adjusting to the current market conditions by positioning their home for sale to maximize the potential for a quick sale.  This includes plenty of Internet exposure.  Your northwest Florida Realtor should provide several photos of your home on Realtor.com and the local MLS as well as a good property description, highlighting features that may attract buyers to want to view your home in person.  Properties that are in good condition and priced competitively typically sell faster.  

Ask your agent for a print-out of your home's Florida MLS listing to check the accuracy of the information or suggest changes you believe may draw more buyers.  Don't be afraid to give your Realtor feedback and take a more proactive approach to getting your house sold.  Think of your relationship with your real estate agent as a partnership.

About Northwest Florida

The Florida Panhandle region consists of the westernmost counties in the state.  This region of Florida, also known as Florida's Emerald Coast, shares its northern border with Georgia and its western border with Alabama, while enjoying the sugar-sand beaches and emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico to its south.
.
The Florida Panhandle's largest cities include Tallahassee, Pensacola and Panama City.  Tallahassee is the capital of the state of Florida and home to Florida State University and Florida A&M University.  The westernmost counties of Florida's Panhandle region are home to Elgin Air Force Base and Pensacola Naval Air Station.  The beach towns draw many vacationers to the area with many coming from surrounding states. 

Among the areas most popular with visitors are Gulf Breeze, Pensacola Beach, Navarre Beach, Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Santa Rosa Beach, Seaside, Panama City Beach and Mexico Beach.  Some of these coastal communities with their prized beachfront property have experienced much development over the past couple of decades. Many condos are used as second homes and some double as vacation rentals part of the year.

Outdoor adventurers can enjoy sports such as bicycling, mountain biking, hiking, and horseback riding.  Golfing enthusiasts can play a round of golf at one of several area golf courses.  The Florida Panhandle offers numerous lakes, bays and rivers where visitors and residents can enjoy water-oriented activities including canoeing, boating, swimming, snorkeling, diving or even enjoy some of the region's world-famous fishing.  Of course, you can always take in some beachcombing, too.

 Pensacola is Florida's western gateway and features some interesting historic sites including Historic Pensacola Village, Fort Pickens and the historic districts of Seville, Palafox and North Hill. 

Meanwhile, beach lovers will find many miles of preserved shoreline along Perdido Key, Pensacola Beach and Santa Rosa Island.  Some areas are federally protected and are part of the undeveloped Gulf Islands National Seashore.  

Bicyclists and walking enthusiasts will surely like Navarre Beach, where they can take advantage of the seashore bicycle trail.  

There are many things to do in Panama City Beach, Fort Walton and numerous other towns in northwest Florida including dozens of festivals and events that take place throughout the year.
